The Challenges of Inferring Organic Function from Structure and Its Emulation in Biomechanics and Biomimetics

The discipline called biomimetics attempts to create synthetic systems that model the behavior and functions of biological systems. At a very basic level, this approach incorporates a philosophy grounded in modeling either the behavior or properties of organic systems based on inferences of structur...
